Ok, I just had to share one of my favorite cards from the Build Your Stash card class by mail! Check out this fun Sending Love card featuring the Jars of Love stamp set! When I originally started designing the class, I had been planning on focusing on the Better Together stamp set – because…
If you are like me, you have a pile of paper scraps on your desk… some punch outs, some larger cut pieces, some stamped images. And I have a heck of a time convincing myself to recycle them because I just know they will be useable in another project. Unfortunately, I don’t actually use them…
Nothing like some Christmas cards to start getting me in the mood for the holiday season! The late fall/winter time is my favorite time of the year! Yes, there is Christmas and even my birthday, but I just love all the joy that is everywhere, the twinkling lights, the shimmer and sparkle that you see…
Happy Sunday and “SPRING FORWARD” day! Did you set your clocks ahead yet? Its funny, I always use to hate this time change because of losing an hour, but now as a parent of toddlers, I love that it means that bedtime is a little bit earlier today. ha ha. Also, if you haven’t…
So, I wanted to try a different idea for stamping where I did a background with random stamping and thought the new Petite Petals would be a fun stamp set to do it with. I’ll admit, I completely did it WRONG but I think I covered up my oops well enough… what do you think?…
I’m trying to get back in the swing of things and thought I’d share the card I created for a couple swaps I’m in.

In getting ready for the Creating Keepsakes Convention last weekend, I wanted to put together some samples from different stamp sets including Button Buddies. So, with the help of my friend Katy, we put together a set of card including this cute little guy: Love that nose! This was a super fast card to…
So I put a question mark at the end of my blog title because I’m trying to decide if this card counts as “masculine” or not. It definitely isn’t flowery, or pink, or have lots of lace and bows. So I think it counts. But take a look and you can decide for yourself. …
Earlier this month was my husband’s birthday and my mom, being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator also, sent him a handmade card that I loved. In fact, I think I liked it even more than he did! 🙂 Anyway, I loved how striking it was and thought it was a great masculine card and so I…
It feels great to break into some of my new Holiday Mini goodies. I knew I wanted to play with the new Spice Cake designer paper and so I pulled out colors from the paper and went from there. To make some of the different elements i added to the card, I started with 3…
A little over a week ago, I hosted my monthly “meet & greet” and as with each month, I brought a free make & take card. This month, I decided to use the fabulous Day of Gratitude set, which thanks to regionals in Portland, I am love more and more each time I use it….
